    Key Terms

    Enhancement-derived cognitive superiority(as used in bioethics and social philosophy)
    When some people use technology or other means to make themselves smarter than others, creating a group of people with significantly better thinking abilities.
    Institutionalized(as describing a systematic way of achieving recognition, contrasted with Sartre's view)
    Established as a formal, official, or widespread practice within a society or system.
    Social cooperation(as used in political philosophy and ethics)
    When people work together and agree on rules or standards for how society should function.
    Structural power(as used in social and political philosophy)
    Power that comes from someone's position in a system or organization, rather than from personal strength or ability—like how a boss has power over employees because of their role in a company.
